Triratna system of practice - Guhyavajra

Triratna system of practice - Guhyavajra

From Shabda Articles on Sat, 12 Jan, 2019 - 10:26

Triratna system of practice                                                                       - Guhyavajra 

These notes are a thread of ‘sayings’ strung together around the architecture of Subhuti’s talks on The Triratna System of Practice. A lot of the material is cut and pasted from Subhuti’s papers, ‘The Essential Sangharakshita’ and Dilgo khyentse’s works, particularly  ‘The heart of Compassion’; with a bit of my own signature to it.

My intention is that these notes are an addition to the general study pool in Triratna relating to our system of practice, originally prepared...

Freedom From Polarization

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Wed, 9 Jan, 2019 - 00:00
In this talk Padmavajra is introduced to the Croydon Sangha by Amarapuspa. Padmavajra explores the idea of freedom from polarization in an inspiring, wide ranging and very deeply Dharmic talk. He starts by remembering positive aspects of Croydon in the 1980's and then takes us on a journey through the vimokshas, the sangharavastus and the pratisamvids as we explore "a taste of freedom". This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in January 2019 as part of our regular Saturday morning Sangha class.

Voices from the Insight Inquiry Project: Vimalavajri OM

From Order Insight Inquiry on Sun, 6 Jan, 2019 - 20:29

It’s not me that goes for refuge. I have felt a release from ‘me needing to do this’ - leaving life, movement, the possibility of change, transformation, enlightenment - without clinging to the idea that this is about me. In fact it’s not about me at all. It’s mysterious.

For a long time I was drawn to looking at experience from a no-self perspective: looking at experiences as nakedly as possible without coverings, without concepts, reflecting that this is not me not...
